You can use virtual host properties files to create or
change mime entry properties.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your mime
entry configuration.
Start the wsadmin scripting tool. To start
wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang jython command
from the bin directory of the server profile.
About this task
Using a virtual host properties file, you can create,
modify, or delete a mime entry. Run administrative commands using
wsadmin to configure or delete a mime entry.
Table 1. Actions for mime entry properties. You can create, modify, and delete mime entry properties.
Action |
Procedure |
create |
Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |
modify |
Edit the properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |
delete |
Specify the mime entries to delete in the Properties
section and then run the deleteConfigProperties command. |
Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create a mime entry.
- Edit a VirtualHost properties file so that it specifies
a mime entry property.
Open an editor on a virtual host
properties file. You can copy an example properties file in this step
into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation.
The following example defines a mime entry inside a virtual
host named default_host at the cell scope with type myType and
extension myExt:
#
# Header
#
ResourceType=VirtualHost
ImplementingResourceType=VirtualHost
ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:VirtualHost=default_host
AttributeInfo=mimeTypes(type,extensions)
#
#
#Properties
#
myType={myExt}
EnvironmentVariablesSection
#
#
#Environment Variables
cellName=WASCell06
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to create a mime entry.
Running the applyConfigProperties command
applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example,
the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a
report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Modify an existing mime entry.
- Obtain a virtual host properties file that defines the
mime entry that you want to change.
You can extract
a properties file for a VirtualHost object using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
mime entry properties as needed.
Ensure that the environment
variables in the properties file match your system.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to change a mime entry.
- Delete an existing mime entry.
If you no
longer need one or more mime entries, list the mime entries that you
want removed in the Properties section of the virtual host properties
file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command:
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the mime entry.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
